Delaware County, Indiana—marked in orange and home to Muncie and Yorktown—is the focus of Surf Internet’s latest multi-million-dollar fiber investment.
MUNCIE, Ind., May 28, 2025 – Surf Internet® announced plans today to bring high-speed fiber-optic internet to Muncie and Yorktown, Indiana—delivering the first widespread fiber network in both communities and expanding access to fast, reliable service for thousands of homes and businesses.
The project represents a total investment of more than $25 million, with $21.1 million committed to bringing service to over 18,000 locations in Muncie and $3.9 million to connect approximately 3,000 addresses in Yorktown. Construction is expected to begin later this year and continue in phases into 2026.
“This is a game-changer for Muncie and Yorktown,” said Surf Internet CEO Gene Crusie. “We’re proud to be the first to bring fiber internet to these Indiana communities, helping local residents and businesses access the speed, performance, and reliability they need to work, learn, and stay connected.”
Muncie and nearby Yorktown—both located in Delaware County, Ind.—are growing communities where high-speed connectivity is critical for education, business, and daily life. Local officials welcomed the announcement, citing the impact the infrastructure investment will have on the region’s future.
“This investment will have a lasting impact on Muncie,” said Mayor Dan Ridenour. “Fiber internet is essential infrastructure, and Surf’s commitment to building it here shows confidence in our city’s future. I look forward to seeing this technology benefit our residents, students, and local businesses.”
“We’re thrilled to see Yorktown included in this major broadband expansion,” said Chase Bruton, Town Manager. “Reliable internet access is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity to keep our top-rated schools and growing community thriving. This new fiber network helps to continue to position us as one of the top places to live and work in east central Indiana.”
Surf Internet will share construction updates directly with the community as the project moves forward, including information on neighborhood timelines and when service becomes available in each area.
